[quote user="rrinker"]  It's not a holdover. If you have success with a less than train length reverse section, then you are not running loco consists longer than the reverse section, or are not using lighted passenger cars. Unless you cut gaps with laser-guided 1/10000 of an inch precision, they will never be exactly parallel and it will be very unlikely that the distance between the sets of gaps is enough to allow multiple metal wheels to exactly touch all the gaps at the same time. SO in a sense, it does work. But try building a loco consist longer than the reverse section, or jsut have 2 independent locos and try to cross both sets of gaps at the same time. It won't work - it CAN'T work because the reverser would have to set the phase of the reversing section in both directions at the same time.               --Randy <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] Wont the OP have the same problem now if 2 trains are running?  1 on south bound, one on nortbound, following the other around the loops?  One locomotive exiting, one entering?
